Throw away a working camera??? Seems a bit wasteful

Had some more rain and a very small bit of water is in the bottom of the left IR, I'd say thats definitely where its getting in. Any suggestion how to seal that up better?

Yeah I didn't realise how hot the hair dryer was, something definitely melted but all functions are working so not too worried, camera is 4 years old anyway I think it was rain coming in the front as there was unusually heavy rainfall recently. I left the camera open today in the sunny weather...

Well the hair dryer resulted in some smelly fumes, everything still working though...

Its actually a bullet not a turret. I took off the 4 screws on the front and pulled it out a bit, not too much as its still mounted and theres cables attached. There was no water I could see so I'd assume its trapped between the circular glass which makes it difficult to get out

The main thing I want to get rid of is the slight clouding on the lens as its affecting the image quality. If I put a hairdryer on it for a few seconds, it disappears and image quality improves alot but comes back after it cools down. I tried opening the front of the camera but it was dry so...

If I put a hard drive from a hikvision dvr into a new one, can it work without having to wipe/reinitialize.

It's minus .09 with AC, 100% certain. And when I tested the other cameras connector, made sure to not reverse the probes. Do you think the fact the non working camera is showing minus whilst the working one is showing positive is a sign of anything? I done it the same way as shown in that...

The reading is minus .09, whereas its plus .2 on a working cameras connector, does that change your opinion or did you just forget the - in your reply

I did the test shown here How Do I Identify a Ground Loop? | OpenEye and was given a reading of -.09 with volt meter set to 20ac. The reading is 0.4 when set to 200dc When I test the cable of a working camera the reading is .2 ac and .1 dc

I have a camera which is connected to a dvr approx 75metres away. Its being powered locally as there is too much voltage drop with the power attached to the coax. Some power supplies will result in a picture but there is obvious interference/image ghosting/horizontal lines/moving waviness. The...

I was aware they done it with IP but not Analog. Unlike IP the price difference of Turbo HD is much less and the amount of Turbo HD chinese models is very limited. I don't see much benefit for them to do this with Analog as there isn't much incentive for anyone to choose importing Chinese over...

I upgraded a turbo hd 1.0 dvr to a turbo hd 4.0 dvr to try out the new 8mp analog, but the new dvr is blocking my imported chinese cameras which are working on the old dvr, gives error language mismatch (even though the analog camera is set to english language) Seriously annoying. Who'd have...

Do you still have the dvr? can i send you a PM

Hi, I'm having an issue with my 7204hghi dvr, do you still have it? can I send you a pm

Thanks that fixed it. I done a browser reset before but that musn't have cleared the cache properly. Another issue, noticed this before update too and was actually the reason I did the update.. when I capture a screenshot from the browser then click to view it gives an error 'refers to location...

After updating 2385fwd from 5.4.5 to 5.5.0 I can't use configuration settings in IE, nothing is clickable. It was working before. Works in Firefox/chrome but live view doesn't work in them. And of course Hikvision doesn't allow firmware downgrade, good job hikvision.

Not low light. In China on the new low light cameras, the model number will end with 6 International ones will have 5FWD at end.

I just found some new Chinese cams. There is the previous gen 3345 4mp with updated turret housing and built in microphone/sd card. And there is a low light 4mp .005 lux

There's a channel on youtube which has night videos of both cameras (and others from the range) The 8mp actually looks a good bit better than the 5mp, but I can't tell how good the 8mp really is compared to the 2mp since it was uploaded at 1080p The 8mp looks like it mightn't be fully night...

So if the main focus of the recording was a good bit away from the mounting point, would you say go for an 8mp and get all the close up view, or a narrow fov 2mp? DS-2CD2325FWD-I vs DS-2CD2385FWD-I The price is very close

Let's say you have an 8mp camera with 2.8mm lens, 100 degree FOV What lens/FOV would you need with a 2mp camera to get the same pixel detail on the same subject in the distance. 6mm,8mm,12mm? I know not all pixels are equal etc, but assuming they both have the same detail per pixel. Probably...

Has anyone compared this to the IPC-HDW4231EM-AS

:D posted reply in wrong thread

Has anyone compared this to the IPC-HDW4231EM-AS

Well, its these new low light models but the Chinese version. Other sensor specs seem the same, sensor size, fov etc so looks like its the same sensor but strange how it was given a different lux rating.

The new Chinese equivalant of these cameras are rated at .002 lux for both 2mp and 3mp. And half the price

Lower the contrast with wdr off or Lower the brightness and enable wdr Both these methods work for me to recover blown out highlights. With the second method I can make the image look exactly the same except for the highlights not blowing out. Lowering the contrast washes out the image a...

I appear to have solved it by recording at full fps instead of 12 fps. What fps are you recording at?
